Winch.. Tirfor or...?

[theflyingscotsman]

They do seems the business, used one a couple of times and was impressed.

 

First price new on a TU16 i found was about £700! Still wading through the google search.

 

Yup sadly new Tifors are pricey but then last a long long time...

 

The best place to buy a used one is eBay or gumtree.. I picked up my tirfor for £40 from gumtree..

 

eBay expect to pay £200-300 for a clean one with handle, rope and pulley

 

Older less pretty ones have gone for under £100..

 

I sent most if last year hunting the perfect combo..

 

I good all round package is the TU16 power and weight is spot on.

 

I use it a lot as I've no tractor mounted winch.

 

I've not used the Jet/Yale/Ace lighter winches and from everyone's comments they must be good.

 

My best advice is to buy a hand winch no bigger than 3200kg pull

 

Good luck let is know what you get
